It's not a personal attack, just trying to find out where all your passion is coming from. I always like a devils advocate approach.
Just saying in your first post... in 7 minutes you had determined it was a waste of time.
By your second post...you were skeptical, concerned for safety, the company was not going to stand behind their product, and I think they were going to be out of business.
Just go back and reread...you come at this with both barrels blazzin'
I can deal with it and even appreciate it. Just sayin' if your looking for a straight answer call Rev Performance. But you may want to start with a little more of an open mind before you dial.
If this thing works and is reliable, I will want it, and so will everyone else. Check that not everyone will, this could really hurt some of our most knowledgeable people here. Guys that make there living selling a competing product or those who use a dyno to make a living. For those folks I hope it is a total flop, but for the rest of us, I hope it works and is reliable. Again...Time will tell.
Keep asking good questions, but read between the lines, depending on who you ask you may very well be getting the run around.
To be fair, I wasn't interest in the product UNTIL 2 questions/issues were addressed. The first dealt with how a dealer's instruments would "see" the ECU after REV Performance's modifications were made. This answer came later in the thread and was positive from my perspective in that it's not going to throw any unusual codes that would result in a dealership telling you to "hit the road" if you have an engine management issue.
My level of interested changed from "I would never send my ECU to a mailing address that I know very little about", to "Tell me more" after this clarification on the dealership diagnostics.
Then someone posts a comparison table of Rev Performance's tuning features to other tuning products on the market. That comparison shows REV Performance as addressing a number of tuning features of interest to me, one being Torque Management since I own a TBW 2010 HD. Some have suggested that TM is holding these bikes back from performing as strongly as their cable-operated brethren. Others suggest that TM is irrelevant to their performance.
Either way, TBW bikes with the same displacement and engine upgrades are generally performing at levels 10% (peak) below bikes without TBW TBs (based on my general review of dynos charts that have been shared). If this 10% reduction is due to TM (and I'm not convinced it is yet), then I would certainly like to better understand why REV Performance is promoting TM as a feature that they offer that no one else offers.
What benefit is REV's TM providing that is not available from any other tuning approach? If the benefit is compelling, then my interest in this product goes up substantially. To date, the only response regarding this question result in run-around answers. I see know reason why a basic response on a forum like this on the topic of why TM is a feature that REV highlights as unique to their product should be so difficult to respond to.
Even if you don't care for my style in getting there, does this background help others in understanding where my positions and questions regarding this product are coming from?
